Prior to reading this little commentary on John's Thoughts blog, I didn't know there was an alternative to a hardware KVM (keyboard, video, mouse). I ts called Synergy, and it emulates a hardware KVM switch.

Synergy is a software that I recently found which allows me to use two computers with one keyboard and mouse. A sort of KM switch without the wires. It works over your home network passing the mouse and keyboard info to the other computer via network. When I move the mouse off one screen it switches to the other computer.

Until I read this blog I never knew such a piece of software existed. I had to go and buy my hardware KVM switch, which I love btw. Is has come in handy a bunch of times. Especially when I'm refreshing computers for friends and family. With a KVM switch (hardware or software), I don't need to do a complete separate setup when I'm working on someone else's computer. I just plug it into the switch, and viola! Its easy for me to go from one system to another.
